Thanks @ruby_eskimo I too thought of doing that, but each one was slightly nuanced! And this is to be done every quarter!!!

Another amazing haul @bubbs. It's great when you hit Asda at the right time like that too! 😁
I've had a good day but not very SW friendly. Breakfast was fine (scrambled eggs) but then I met my friend for lunch. I went by train so had a prelunch drink then prawn cocktail followed by a chicken curry. Then they brought her a sticky toffee pudding with a candle so I had to share that (the pudding, not the candle! 🤣). Not eaten since though
Back on plan tomorrow. 😊0 -
Morning,
Just in the car heading for Portsmouth. Our ferry isn’t until 4 so we will explore Portsmouth and have lunch.Dinner was chicken shish with bulgar wheat and salad plus 2 rum and Diet Coke. The restauranteur gave us a bottle of pink Prosecco to take away aaaah!
I have some hi fi bars with me plus a banana. Have had poached egg, mushrooms and tomatoes this morning and have finished the pineapple.
Yes @beanielou I received a bonus after telling my boss what a slap in the face it was having to input everyone else’s! Nothing like feeling valued and having to ask for recognition.Have a good day all

Hi all,
Booked our holiday today, we decided against flying and booked our first family cruise so we are all very excited - 10 weeks to go! I've cruised once before.
In lieu of weigh in I weighed at my Mum's which I know how they compare to SW and looks like I've lost 2lbs over the last 10 or so days, I've not been bad but I do feel I may have relaxed a little too much but need to get back on it ready for my holibobs

Evening all
Yes Maman and this was 7.20 ish, my friend got prawn pasta salads for 35p too(dated today), well i got them because i was there before her, so loaded the trolley 😂 up as i know what she buys from company shop and her daughter loves prawns then we went through it and put back anything she didn't want and got more of what she did
Coxy have a lovely weekend,
Anna well done and something to look forward to that will be here before you know it! I was saying to my friend see you when you break up for summer, she said yes 4 weeks for her as she work in private school and 6 weeks for her children. Don't seem possible that will be big summer holidays 😱
